Shell shaking involves cleaning oyster shells by shaking off the dirt and debris so baby oysters can successfully attach to and grow on them. This is activity is critical in our oyster restoration efforts. Without clean oyster shells we could potentially lose millions of healthy larvae.

This event is a bit of a workout, but a fun hands-on experience. With lifting involved, it is not recommended for individuals with a bad back or other health concerns. Water will be provided, but bring a water bottle for refills and please wear close-toed shoes.

The Chesapeake Bay Foundation is a nonprofit, tax-exempt charitable organization under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.

Donations are tax-deductable as allowed by law.
